Sophomore Chris Perkins took the net for St. John's of Shrewsbury during penalty kicks and made a trio of saves -- on Framingham's John Goncalves, Adam Skaggs, and Jon Ward -- and the Pioneers prevailed, 3-2, in kicks to win the boys' Division 1 state final in Brockton.

Chris Stoker, Andrew Powell, and Joseph Buckley all converted their kicks for St. John's of Shrewsbury before Framingham netminder denied Matthew Darling in the fourth round of kicks to give the Flyers a chance.

Perkins stoned Ward to set off the celebration.

More to come, including the full video of PKs.
